Auditions: Sydney

The audition process is about to come to a close, and where better than the sparkly, sultry city of Sydney. After all, this is the place talented dancers come to follow their dreams... And that means Sydney will present the toughest competition yet! The first contestant showcased is 18-year-old Hilton.

Henry received a Top 100 ticket, but the feisty Stephanie would have to dance for her life at corry. The determined tone in this experienced performer's voice meant she intended to get that ticket – and she did. Kamikaze's powerful street style had Jason commenting this was a real man dancing like a real man, something he's a big fan of. Welcome to the Top 100 Kamikaze!
